Comprehensive Reservoir and Production Data for Wolfcamp Shale (Delaware Basin) - 2016

The dataset is a collection of reservoir and production data for the Wolfcamp Shale Formation in the Delaware Basin, a key sub-basin of the Permian Basin, covering the year 2016 on a daily basis. The Wolfcamp Shale is an unconventional hydrocarbon reservoir, consisting of organic-rich mudstone interbedded with carbonates and siltstone, making it a prime target for hydraulic fracturing. The formation is known for its ultralow permeability (0.01 - 0.1 µD), requiring extensive stimulation techniques to enhance oil and gas recovery. The reservoir is located at depths ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, with high pressure (4,500 - 7,500 psi) and elevated temperatures (220 - 250°F). It contains significant hydrocarbons in place, with an estimated 50 billion barrels of original oil in place (OIP) and 450 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas in place (GIP). The dataset includes key petrophysical and geomechanical properties, such as porosity (6-12%), total organic carbon (TOC: 3-6%), clay content (20-40%), brittleness index, fracture toughness, and stress distribution, all of which influence fracture propagation and hydrocarbon production. The presence of natural fractures varies across the formation, localized in more brittle zones, while faulting is common, with normal and strike-slip faults impacting stress distribution. The dataset also captures production metrics, including oil production rates (500-5,000 bbl/day), gas production rates (1,000-15,000 MCF/day), water production, water cut (10-80%), and gas-oil ratio (GOR: 800-3,000 SCF/STB), providing insights into well performance and fluid movement. Additionally, injection data from hydraulic fracturing operations, such as injection rates (500-3,000 bbl/day) and fracture conductivity (10-200 mD-ft), are included to assess stimulation effectiveness. The geomechanical stress regime is predominantly normal to strike-slip, and hydraulic fracturing is essential due to the tight nature of the rock.
